Favorite Hellsing character: ..... Alucard I guess.
Been reading since: last week of October 2006
Fave story: 2nd Fangirl storyline. The one including the Iscariot organization.
Other: I'm an anime/game fan in general, have to say my favorite anime is actually FMA, and I like Final Fantasy 7 for games. I do own the box-set for Hellsing, and have read most of the available manga! My roommate is a bigger Hellsing fan than me though. And she's the one who found your Doujinshi.


My sincerest oppologies I didn't put this up sooner... ^^;

[Tweak]

Name: Zach, but my nickname on the swim team is Tweak, and it kind of stuck.
Age: 19
Loc: Muncie, Indiana
Fav Character: Seras Victoria
Been reading since: About a year and a half. I'm kind of timid on the intarwebs, due to my phobia of getting "pwned".
Fav Shine story line: I liked the last fangirl storyline because I was in it. But other than that... it would have to be Cats are People Too. Reseda is too cool.

Other info: I swim at Ball State, and I also occasionally eat, sleep and go to class there. Lately I've been reading a lot. I like to draw and write and play video games and I'm addicted to Guitar Hero II right now. I cosplayed Father Andersong one year, and due to my short stature (5'6"), people called me Chibi Andersong. I cried for, like, hours.

[R-Chie]

Hi! I'm new! (well, not to shine, but to the forum)

Name: Many peple actually call me Silver but R-Chie is closer to my real name ^^
Age:16

Fav character: Integra
Been reading since: only about half a year ago
Fav story line: That christmas story line with the mistletoe ^^

[Frey]

Name: Nate Frey (you can call me Frey)
Age: 20 (Born on October 23, 1986)
Location: Highland Park, Illinois (Highland Park is a suburb north of Chicago)
Favorite Character: If I were to say who my favorite character(s):
Pip Bernadotte (humorous), Seras Victoria (do not underestimate her), Integral Hellsing (deserves respect), Heinkel Wolfe (level-headed), and the Captain (mysterious and can show mercy unlike the rest of Millennium).
Been Reading Since: November 2006
Favorite Storyline: I like all the storylines: They are very humorous and clever.

Other: I have many things to say about myself. It would be quite a lot so I will only say this much. I am five-eighths Anglo-Saxon, a quarter Swiss (the German speaking Swiss), the rest other. I can actually trace my geneology back to Harold Godwinson. My ancestors came to North America during British colonization. I am agnostic. My favorite cuisines are Mediterranean and Asian. Currently living at home and attending community college. I am currently applied at College of Lake County community college. I am working on transfering to the University of Illinois Chicago and I am majoring in political science. I like staying informed and I read "The Economist." My favorite subjects are history, mythology, and political science. I read all sorts of Manga and online comics. I also watch Anime and other television shows. I play video games and I Fence in Sabre. I have two demeanors: a stoic one and a more expressive one. I DO NOT LIKE DEHUMANIZERS! I have many thoughts and ideas that bounce around in my mind and I am full of complexities. However, I am sane. I am fascinated by the contradictions of that people consist of.

I read Hellsing Manga and watched some of the Anime before discovering Shine. To be honest, I was never into fan works at all nor did I ever spoke on forums before and I did not really email at all, until I discovered "Shine." I found "Shine" to be humourous, clever, and well done. Overall Erin's fancomic and herself inspired me to become more sociable online.

I thank you Erin.

Has this topic died down?

[Junior1210]

Name: Art nash jr aka junior1210
Age: 36
Location: travelling(truck driver) home is in southeast Az
Favorite character: Victoria Setras
Favorite storyline: both Fangirl/boy

Other: been a loooong time consumer of manga/anime. Got hooked when Battle of the Planets(Gatchaman) was showing on tv. Uped the ante once StarBlazers(Battleship Yamato) aired, and gave up hope of a cure the first time I saw Robotech(Macross). I'm very partial to shoujo/shoujo-ai storylines, romantic comedy movies, and sci-fi novels. I'm starting to learn to like some horror genre titles (like Hellsing), but not very many others. Only got started with webcomics last january but learning fast(I hope). Always ready to check out anybodies recomandations for good manga/anime and will happily refer anyone who wants any. Also looking for a way to effectively house vhs tapes as my collection from before dvd is large and awkward.

[Urahara]

Name: Just call me Urahara. Or Sam. Either works.
Age: 13
Location: A small town in northeastern North Carolina.
Favorite Character: Integra. I used to think I was a Schrodinger fan because of how oddly Kirbish he was, but for some reason I never go on Schro-induced rants at school..
Favorite Storyline: I can't decide. AH LUFFLEZ ZEM ALLL.
Been Reading Since: A few weeks ago. x3
Other: I'm known to say stuff completely random to some people, but to me it's not that crazy. I also randomly type/speak with a kind of German accent, just because I've rewatched the part with the Major's war plan over and over again. I'm also very fond of the 'xD' smiley, and unless something makes me LIEK TTLY LAWLZ, the 'x' is never capitalized. As you may tell, I'm a fan of Bleach's Urahara Kisuke, and think that the dub version of Renji should go jump in a piranha-infested river. I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but when I /do/ post, it's normally something hard to understand because of my scrambled brain. I believe that whoever created Windows Movie Maker should shoot themself in the face before I go postal on them for making such a crappy movie maker, and I'm a potato obsessive.

THE END.

[Nikkei]

Name: Nikkei
age: 15
location: US
Favorite Hellsing character: ...Pip or Seras, not quite sure...
how long i've been reading the comic: About two months
Favorite storyline: Shine or Die
other info: I'm the biggest Rurouni Kenshin fangirl you'll....Nevermind I'm the only fangirl of any kind you'll find where I live...I'm also a little on the hyper side and have a very odd train of thought.

[Frey]

I sometimes have a weird train of thought.

[Xuanwu]

I might as well post some of my favorite anime and manga, since many of you have done the same:

ROD OVA (not really the TV series), Sailor Moon (Stars especially), Transformers G1, Utena, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hellsing (of course), Higurashi, Evangelion, Haruhi, Urusei Yatsura, G-On Riders (the ultimate anime for megane-ko lovers), Death Note, Dragon Knights, Big O, Mai Hime, School Rumble, RahXephon, Black Lagoon, xxxHolic, Kare Kano, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Excel Saga (Nabeshin Afro Power!)

That's a short list. There are several others I like.

[Frey]

If I were to say my favorite Anime and Mangas, they would be Hellsing, the Macross sagas, Vampire Hunter D, Petshop of Horrors, Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman Nisei (just the Manga version; 4Kids TV ruined the Anime English Dub), Tatakae! Ramenman, Ghost in the Shell, Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Trinity Blood, Inuyasha, Lupin III, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, FMA, Big O, and Escaflowne.

I do watch and read other Animes and Mangas.

[Junior1210]

Xuanwu, after having read O/O I figured you had to be a Nabashin fan. Well met brother. Few characters measure up to him, and even fewer surpass except for BellDandy (Ah/Oh My Goddess) or Kenny (South Park).

[Frey]

When reading O/O, I noticed the Voltron and Macross references. I also noticed cameos of Anime characters from shows that I watched when I was younger.

[Chaos Priest]

I'd have to say my favorite is Dragon Knights, but I also immensely enjoy Azumanga Daioh, Ruroni Kenshin, Hellsing (of course), Trigun, Slayers, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and several others I'm starting into, such as Excel Saga and Emma.

[R-Chie]

Other than Hellsing, I only have Neon Genesis Evangelion, but I also like Cowboy Bepop, FMA and ROD

[Xuanwu]

I'd have to say my favorite is Dragon Knights, but I also immensely enjoy Azumanga Daioh, Ruroni Kenshin, Hellsing (of course), Trigun, Slayers, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and several others I'm starting into, such as Excel Saga and Emma.

Dragon Knights is probably one of the most underappreciated manga out there, maybe because it doesn't have an anime. I hope someone makes it an anime someday. They could do it like Black Lagoon: a season at a time to avoid the need for filler.

[GenieMiller]

Name: Genie
Age: 23
Location: Florida
Favorite Hellsing character: Walter
how long i've been reading the comic: I think about a year now
Favorite storyline: Really any of the Fangirl ones
other info:I am a professional Photographer, and my favorite thing to photograph is my miniatures <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/46509777/"> Maurice and Io </a> I have got my finacee hooked on this series. If fact he said he is willing to dress up as Father Anderson for Halloween/Conventions and I am going to be Girlucard. I not usually some one who supports yaio, but I ok with this pairing in Alucards' Dawn form. Also I am in to rpgs, webdesign, sewing, and building stuff (miniature or life size.)

[Helkaurain]

Name: Helkaurain. Seriously, that's my real name. Or will be, as soon as I'm able to change it to that.
Age: 17 years. I think.
Gender: Male
Location: Somewhere on this insignificant planet that is unfortunately too full of reality and severely lacking in the vampire department.
Favorite Hellsing Character(s): All of them, but mostly Rip Van Winkle. Followed by just about all of Millenium.
Been a fan of Hellsing since: January 10th. I have now read all of the manga up to Volume 9, chapter 7, seen both OVAs, and watched all of the anime. I'm now wishing I had discovered it earlier so I could buy my own copies of the manga without having to visit all the bookstores within a 30 mile radius...Several times per week.
Been reading Shine since: January 19. Read all of the archived comics by the 20th. And reread them all again by the 22nd. Burn you, Erin. Burn you and your awesomely addictive comic.
Favorite storyline(s): Feliz Nazidad, the whole Read or Die crossover (now I have to find Read or Die), and Catholicon, although the whole comic pwns.
Other info: Serial Experiments Lain fan. FMA fan. Ghost in the Shell fan. Bleach fan. Trinity Blood fan. Fan of anime/manga in general, although I don't have enough access to it. Hellsing fanatic (even though I'm just a new convert). Avid reader of any novel that's remotely fantasy or sci-fi or Clancy-esque. I particularly love the R.A. Salvatore Forgotten Realms books and the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Also: Proud to be a Star Wars geek. Proud to be an obsessive gamer. Actually, make that p|20|_||) 70 83 4/\/ 085355i\/3, 1337 94/\/\3|2.

I'm not sure how active I'll be...I don't think I'm too good with story discussions and things like that. There's always a chance I might have a revelation, though.
